The Saphenous Vein Versus Right Internal Thoracic Artery as a Y-Composite Graft (SAVE RITA) trial was designed to evaluate the noninferiority of the saphenous vein (SV) compared with the right internal thoracic artery ([R]ITA) used as a Y-composite graft.
A total of 224 patients who had undergone off-pump revascularization for multivessel coronary artery disease using the SV or RITA as a Y-composite graft based on the in situ left ITA were assigned randomly to the SV Y-composite graft (SV group, n = 112) or free RITA Y-composite graft (RITA group, n = 112). The primary endpoint was the 1-year angiographic patency rate of the second limb conduits (SV or RITA). Postoperative 1-year coronary angiograms were performed in 215 patients (SV group, 108; RITA group, 107).
The overall graft patency rate was 97.4% (745 of 765) at 1 year (97.9% in the SV group vs 96.9% in the RITA group, P = .362). The primary endpoint of the study, the 1-year patency rate of the SV composite grafts, was 97.1% (238 of 245) and was noninferior to that of the RITA composite grafts (97.1% [198 of 204]) with a 95% lower confidence limit of -2.6% (P < .001 for noninferiority). The graft qualities, evaluated using the FitzGibbon patency grades, were also similar between the 2 groups (P = .948). No statistically significant differences were found in the overall survival rates between the 2 groups at 1 and 4 years (P = .998). Also, no statistically significant differences were found between the 2 groups in the freedom from major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event rates at 1 and 4 years (P = .597).
The SV composite grafts were noninferior to the RITA composite grafts in terms of the 1-year angiographic patency rates.
隐静脉与右胸廓内动脉作为 Y 型复合移植物(SAVE RITA)试验旨在评估作为 Y 型复合移植物使用时,隐静脉(SV)相较于右胸廓内动脉([R]ITA)的非劣效性。
共有 224 例因多支冠状动脉疾病接受非体外循环血管重建术的患者,根据原位左胸廓内动脉情况,使用 SV 或 RITA 作为 Y 型复合移植物,随机分为 SV Y 型复合移植物组(SV 组,n = 112)或游离 RITA Y 型复合移植物组(RITA 组,n = 112)。主要终点是第二支血管移植物(SV 或 RITA)的 1 年血管造影通畅率。215 例患者(SV 组 108 例;RITA 组 107 例)进行了术后 1 年冠状动脉造影。
1 年时总体移植物通畅率为 97.4%(765 支中的 745 支)(SV 组为 97.9%,RITA 组为 96.9%,P = 0.362)。该研究的主要终点,即 SV 复合移植物的 1 年通畅率为 97.1%(245 支中的 238 支),不劣于 RITA 复合移植物(97.1%[204 支中的 198 支]),95%置信下限为-2.6%(非劣效性 P < 0.001)。使用 FitzGibbon 通畅分级评估的移植物质量在两组间也相似(P = 0.948)。两组在 1 年和 4 年时的总生存率无统计学显著差异(P = 0.998)。此外,两组在 1 年和 4 年时无主要不良心脑血管事件发生率方面也无统计学显著差异(P = 0.597)。
在 1 年血管造影通畅率方面,SV 复合移植物不劣于 RITA 复合移植物。
